Sherlock, S3 Ep3

Sherlock, S3 Ep3

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here it is, the review for the third and very last episode in the third series of Sherlock. *silently sobs because it only means one thing : WAITING UNTIL 2017 TO HAVE THE FOURTH SERIES !* So, without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

His Last Vow

So, here are the three words I've picked for this episode :

Blackmail : In this episode, the nemesis is Charles Augustus Magnussen, a man who pretends to have a lot of secret informations about influent people, not only in the United Kingdom but also in the entire Western World, if not ahead. He enters people's proprieties and act as if he was in his own, peeing in Sherlock's mantelpiece, flick John's face or lick a Lady's face, just because he knows, and the knowledge he has in his ''Appledore'' is what could bring the security of the nation down if he wanted to. But then, since it's all in his head, Sherlock kills him, and thus, sets everyone free from his manipulation.

Liar : Also, we learn in this episode that Mary isn't what she said she was. She is a former CIA agent, also a trained assassin, and John didn't see that coming before it was too late. So, Sherlock had her confess that she indeed shot himand got Magnussen free because he had informations on her that could have compromised her entire security. Then, there is a big conversation, on whether Sherlock and John will take her as a client, they do, and then, Maey gives the USB key containing all of her infos and real identity. But what is really heart-warming is that not only John didn't read it, but he just decides to forget his past, and to know her only as Mary Watson, his wife. She's very happy and they have a happy life, the end.

Miss Me ? : This is just the end of the episode, the five last minutes, but since it's quite linked to the next series, I had to discuss it. Moriarty, apparently, has made his return, just like Sherlock, the only difference between them being that Sherlock jumped and did his ''magic trick'' to stay alive while Moriarty shot himself in the face. So, now we are facing a new enigma : is Moriarty really back or is it an impostor ? How could he have survived a fatal wound in the head, a shot like that ? Well, I only have one thing to say, since this is the only thing we have to do until MOTHERF*CKING 2017 (I will have Moffat killed one day or another) : The game is on !

Overall impression : A great finale, also a heart-warming moment between John and Sherlock where EVERYONE believed Sherlock was about to confess his love to John (knives thrown at Moffat once again). The end.

Okay, that's it for today ! I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
